Court properly granted tax deed to residential property occupied by homeowners. Attempts to notify homeowners of tax sale were sufficient because they were reasonably calculated, under all circumstances, to apprised them of pendency of action and afford them opportunity to present their objections. Sheriff tried to serve them multiple times, and tried to send notice by certified mail, at two addresses, but they failed to claim their mail. No basis to conclude that appellees engaged in fraud in acquiring tax deed or violated homeowners' due process rights.(PUCINSKI and LAVIN, concurring.)
